Aluminium sliding patio doors are built to enhance both the look of your home and how you use your space every day.
Unlike traditional hinged doors, sliding systems glide smoothly along precision tracks, removing the need for swing space and creating a more efficient layout. This makes them particularly effective in open-plan areas, extensions, and garden-facing rooms.
The strength of aluminium allows for significantly larger glass panels with ultra-slim frames, delivering uninterrupted views and increased natural light without compromising thermal efficiency or security.
This combination of aesthetics and engineering makes aluminium sliding doors a long-term investment in both comfort and property value.

Every home has different requirements, which is why our aluminium sliding doors are designed to be fully configurable.
Choose your size. Doors are available in 2-panel, 3-panel, 4-panel and 6-panel configurations, all made to measure to your exact opening.
Choose your colour. Pick from three standard finishes — Black, Anthracite Grey and White — or go for a dual-colour finish and custom RAL colours for an additional cost.
You can also customise:
- Opening directions and track layouts
- Inline or lift-and-slide operation
- Double or laminated glazing (28mm units)
- Specialist glazing (solar control, privacy, integral blinds)
- Threshold options for flush or standard finishes
This flexibility ensures your doors are not only visually aligned with your home, but also tailored to how the space is used in practice.
External sliding doors redefine the relationship between your home and garden.
By opening up wide glazed areas, they allow natural light to flow deeper into your home while creating a more open, connected environment. This is particularly valuable in kitchens, living areas, and extensions where space and light are priorities.
Because the panels slide rather than open outward, they maximise usable floor space — making them ideal for both compact layouts and large contemporary designs.
The result is a space that feels brighter, more open, and better suited to modern living.
When comparing aluminium and uPVC sliding doors, the differences are most noticeable in strength, design flexibility, and longevity.
Aluminium's structural strength allows for larger glass panels and slimmer frames, creating a more modern appearance with improved views and natural light.
It also offers greater durability over time, resisting warping, discolouration, and general wear. This makes it particularly well suited for larger openings and long-term installations.
While uPVC can be a practical option for smaller or budget-led projects, aluminium is typically the preferred choice for homeowners prioritising performance, design, and lifespan.
Choosing the right sliding door suppliers is key to achieving a reliable, high-quality installation.
At Slide & Fold, every system is manufactured to order in our Coventry facility. This gives us complete control over quality, lead times, and finishing, ensuring each set of doors meets precise specifications.

Aluminium Sliding Doors: Frequently Asked Questions
Are aluminium sliding doors energy efficient?
Yes — they're built to keep the warmth in. The ALUNA Slider uses thermal-break technology and high-performance glazing to reach U-values as low as 1.4 W/m²K, is Energy Rated C and meets Part L. It's also weather-tested to BS6375, so it holds up comfortably in all weather.
How much do sliding patio doors cost in the UK?
Our made-to-measure sliding doors start at £1,077 for a 2-panel set, then rise with size — around £1,638 for 3 panels, £1,846 for 4 panels and £2,754 for 6 panels. What you pay in the end comes down to the size, layout, glazing and finish you choose. Pop your measurements into the online builder and you'll get an instant quote, no obligation.
Do aluminium sliding doors need much maintenance?
No — they're one of the lowest-maintenance doors you can buy. Aluminium won't rot, warp or fade, so there's no repainting or sealing to keep up with. An occasional wipe of the frames and a quick clear of the bottom track to keep it running smoothly is all it takes. The powder-coated finish keeps its colour for years, which is a big part of why aluminium lasts so well.
How secure are aluminium sliding doors?
The ALUNA Slider is PAS24:2022 compliant when paired with laminated glass and fitted with a high-security multi-point locking system — the same standard insurers and Building Regulations look for. Combined with a rigid aluminium frame, that gives you genuine reassurance on an external opening.
Are sliding doors good for small spaces?
Yes — they're ideal. Because the panels slide along a track instead of swinging open, you don't lose any floor space to a door arc, unlike hinged or French doors. That makes sliding doors a smart choice for compact rooms, tight patios and anywhere furniture sits close to the opening.
What colours can I choose from?
Our standard finishes are Anthracite Grey, Black and White. You can also go for a dual-colour finish — one shade inside, another out — or a custom RAL colour for a small extra cost.
